Other people have asked too, so I just want to agree with them and ask you if you could explain how to choose an intermediate flute. That does seem like the hardest flute for a student to pick out. Also, could you explain the differences between step-up, intermediate, and pre-professional flutes? Those terms have me confused. BTW I absolutely love your videos - don't change a thing!
great question, especially when budget is a key concern
I'm a clarinetist... Why am I watching this? 😂😂😂 I liked the video though! Lol
Sara McCarthy I'm a percussionist and a trumpeter 😂😂
I also majored in Clarinet. But, I did pick up many other instruments. I now have a lovely silver marching Bflat French horn I love playing. I learned to play flute in my early college years. I'm also a keyboardist. So, it's not strange loving to play or learn about more than one instrument.
I mean i'm a clarinet too.... Though i plan to play flute for marching :D
Same
Just awesome flutes. Loved the Di Zhao 200 for the even tonality and brilliance while exhibiting lovely resonance. Excellent demos. Thank you.
Because of this video, I bought the Di Zhao, and absolutely love it!! Thank you!
Purchased the Gemeinhardt 2BLK new for less that half the list price for my 6th grader in her third year of concert band. It's a nice upgrade from her eBay Glory 180, and she's very happy with it and loves the 'cool' black color, which I think encourages her to practice. I think the Di Zhao 200 or 300 will be a nice step up if she continues playing into High School. Thanks for your review.
I just bought a Burkart Elite from them in May, FCNY is fabulous, selection and staff amazing, a really good experience!
I just bought a new pearl piccolo (my first piccolo) and it plays exceptionally well. It's super nice for a first piccolo, and I really love it.
Thank you so much for the review. I love your videos. I just bought a Di Zhao 200 from FCNY and I am really excited. Thank you so much.
I love your videos. I just started playing after not playing for 35 years. I tried a bunch of flutes (Yamaha, Pearl, Jupiter, Gemeinhardt, Di Zhao) and chose a Di Zhao 400 series flute last month. I love it!
So we bought a Di Zhao because of your vid and appreciated the knowledge here. Flute Centers of New York were very helpful and added all your goodies and even more that I can't mention. This was worth it and just so you know they knew immediately who I was talking about when I mentioned you. I also know exactly where to go when I need repairs. That's worth knowing. Thanks again.
What's also adorable, the stuffed animal in the background admiring another flute ❤️.
I love that black nickel Gemeinhardt flute!! and it plays beautifully as well!!
such a majestic Ute and flute player I love the way you only it's like an angel so angelic
OMG THE BLACK NICKEL FLUTE IS SOOOOO BEAUTIFUL 🤑
When I was in middle school, out of all the flutes we had mine was the only black nickel flute and I felt so cool when we had concerts because I stood out. We were assigned instruments the first day we joined the band and we'd have to play that assigned instrument through the three years of middle school. I knew there was only one black nickel Gemeinhardt flute and our band teacher actually saved it for me because he said I was the only student serious about playing for the band. At the time I didn't know how expensive instruments were and when I found out.. I was so honored to be able to have the opportunity to borrow such an expensive instrument from a public school. I stopped playing my freshman year of high school and I still regret not hanging onto it. Your enthusiasm makes me excited and want to start again.
Been wondering about the Di Zhao 200. Thank you for your review!!!
Thank you for all the amazing videos. I his video helped decide on a new flute for my daughter. She is getting the DZ200.
Im so glad you made this video because now in in flute heaven!!!!!
omg this is awesome Joanna thank you!!!
Just wanted to add..we recently went to the flute center to purchase an open holed step up flute for my daughter. The staff at the flute center was very helpful without pushing her to buy a particular flute. She tried five and ended up picking a Di Zhao 600 and is very happy with it. If you live within a couple of hours of nyc it is def worth a trip in!
I’m looking at professional flutes right now so this is very helpful thank you so much!!! Keep doing what you’re doing it’s amazing:))
I’ve got an open holed Gemeinhardt student intermediate that I’ve had for 30 years. The foot joint is a little bent, though. I love 💕 playing and I’ve been doing it for 36 years.
You are Terrific Thanks for the vid. Now I know which flute to save up for and where to direct my students.
Can you also please review more student model flutes? Also does the Di Zhao have a Split E Mechanism and a C# Trill Key?
I think one of the perks of playing a black nickel flute would be that if it were to tarnish it would be harder to tell. I don't know if this is good logic. xP
Every person I know with a black flute had the finish worn off showing the true nickel underneath the finish where their thumbs go for both hands
The black nickel flute shows the tarnish as well. I own one and there is a spot on it from when it was on display from what was holding it. It shows quite a bit considering the difference between the colours.
Joanna: I don't wanna send this back to the Flute Center of NY π∆π
Di Zhao: that can be arranged ^w^
i would love to have a review of the dean yang flutes ... - love the Di Zhao flutes ... beautiful tone ...
ugh such a majestic flute player
Thanks Joanna! I just got the Gemeinhardt 3OBLK using your code. I am allergic to nickel and also can't play silver plated headjoints, but this model has a sterling lip plate and riser, and silver plated keys. I think it looks even better with the silver and black contrast! I used to play a 3SHB, but it's been in the closet for 20 years. It's really hard to find something that doesn't cost a fortune if you need the solid silver lip plate, so I was pleased to see Gemeinhardt putting a great compromise model in their line at a reasonable price point. Have you tried that model? It has open holes and a different headjoint design from the 2BLK that you played in the video (it has the NG-1 instead of the J-1).
Cool, I'm considering that flute. What's the difference between those headjoints? Thanks for sharing your choice, have a nice day!
My friend has the black gemeinhardt flute because she’s allergic to the silver components in everyone else’s flutes and she’s even had an allergic reaction to our friend’s flute twice so we always make sure she uses her flute and her flute only 😂
I just wanted to thank you.
I ordered a di zhao 201 with plugged open hole, it costs 30 more bucks than the 200.
The flute really feels great, and as I ordered one from Canada, I got the 80 dols shipping for free with your code.
do you think gemeinhardt 3OB BLK's a good 'step-up' flute? im planning to get one in the near future
The Di Zhao 200 will be my first upgrade :D I have not been able to play flute for a long time due to my previous cheap U$100 being broken :( I have not stopped learning music and once I get my Di Zhao my Flutist heart will be reborn.
Thanks for this amazing review!
I don't know why this vid has so few actual likes. As of 3.2.2021 54K+ views! I love this vid and the series of FCNY sponsored reviews and vids. Thanks Joanna!
Would you be able do to a comparison of the Pearl Vigore 795, the Azumi Z3, and the Resona 300 flutes?
Playing that flute with stravinskis firebird is fantastic I defiantly recommend it
That black flute looks so BADASS!!!
Hey! I looked this video for the reference to buy my Di Zhao (300) at NFA 2016! I played Dizhao 200 and i love it. Your review was (veeery) accurate! I'm very happy and satisfied for take the right decision buying a Di Zhao (My first own flute after 8 years playing flute/piccolo). Thanks you so much
Luv my Gemeinhardt!! He's a silver, open hole inline. Gemein gets my vote.
Thank you!!!! Would you recommend me Di Zhao 300 or Gemeinhardt 30B or Gemeinhardt 30SHB for playing jazz and flamenco mostly(predominantly acoustic music)? Is Di Zhao more focused to only academic music? Have a nice day!!!!!
Omgwsh yay! More review videos! I'd love to see some reviews of Yamaha flutes and maybe even some Pearl flutes, from their beginner to their intermediate. I feel that Gemeinhardt is a power house in the student level but at the intermediate level I'd love to see how they compete with other brands!
Was wondering if you could do a review of the nuvo student flute and share your thoughts on it
What do you think of the Yamaha Advantage flute? Is it reliable? By the way, I love your videos!!!!
I am not a flutist, and I don't plan to buy a flute ever, but I enjoyed this video so much ;D
Can you show the best intermediate flutes for the best price please?!!
Nice review, colorful personality, thanks!!
Wow! I wish there is something like this for clarinets! I am a clarinetist !
I ordered the black nickel for my step-daughter. It's her 2nd year playing. Thw pictures do not do it justice. It is a goregous beginner flute! It's loud, perfect for marching band, and it's very easy for her to play. Of course I used the JAF code when ordering and the final total was $479.
Love your reviews. I would the review on models in 300$ 600 $ range due to I only play for fun and I play low note pieces like Irish Celtic music music pieces what would you recommend for a new flute I like the low note crisp sound without paying a lot of money
I have a Germienhardt 2SP so it’s basically the same flute but it’s silver plated nickel so it doesn’t look black like this one.
I play flute and I love playing flute what kind of flute do you got I got a Jupiter Flute
If you don't mind me asking, if I was wanting to do a trial for a few flutes, would it be completely free if I use the code or would there be a trial fee along with it? Thank you in advance.
Are there any flute exercise books that you recommend for a beginner?
can you pls list some really good professional flutes? I'm looking to buy my first but I don't know where to start!
I just set up a trial with them with your code! They were amazing to work with. I'm so excited to try the flutes :D
Hurray! I hope you find the flute of your dreams!!
I actually got a Di Zhao 500, and I love it so far!
I own a Armstrong 104 student model with all silver and c foot joint and I wanted to know what the two ovalish keys that are extensions to the first two keys to the left of your left thumb
Can you do a review on the Powell sonare models 😊
do you think that emerson flutes are any good because I have a emerson flute.
I agree with you as far as being shocked at the quality of Gemeinahardt! I've been playing on a 3SHB for about 4 years now (thankfully I'm upgrading for college very soon) but it's definitely gotten me far! Even my private teacher was astonished when she found out I played on a Gemeinhardt. She was like, "....woah. What? Gemeinhardt? You make that thing sound really good!" I will say, it has it's quirks and it's certainly not the best for where I am now, but they're definitely up & coming, especially for the price!
That di Zhao is powerful!
I enjoyed your review!
How do you get such a clear and defined sound for low notes?!? Whenever I try playing low notes, I can barely hear myself playing
I looked for the black Gemeinhardt flute for students on the flute center of New York website but I couldn’t find that model 😢
Is it possible to review the Gemeinhardt 3bk flute please.
which flute do you consider to be the best Yamaha or dejoh
Does the discount code still work? Its 2018 lol and this vid was made 2016. Please respond because i need info asap. Thank u
And such fun too
I've seen this so many times because I'm wanting to buy the 2 black and I'm trying to decide if this is the one I want. I'm not playing in a school band I play tuba in school. I played flute last year and I really want to get it.
Please review the Di Zhao 700 series.
Would you consider a $250 Gemeinhardt 1SP Student Flute cheap?
When is the review of the ollivander wands going to happen?
Have you ever tried the Nuvo student flute? I can't afford a 400+$ flute. Will you ever do a review on one of them?
Is it the Di Zhao model 200 suitable for a beginner or student??
I want a flute. But it's two years later. How long is your code good for?
Please review some semi-professional or professional models! I'm in the process of trying out flutes to figure out what I need in a flute and I would love to hear your input on different flutes. Can you also address what you like in gold flutes over silver flutes and maybe talk about silver flutes that have gold plating or platinum plating?
I have the Powell Sonaré Black Nickel Plated Flute and it's pretty awesome.
But it's silver under the black nickel.
Please review the Gemeinhardt 3BLK!
Haha, great video! Now I need a review of a mid-range Muramatsu vs. a mid-range Miyazawa (priced in the vicinity of $5,000 or so). I already borrowed and tried some from FCNY, but I want to hear your take on it. And by the way, Julian Rose is great to work with over there. :-)
I've been wanting to get a new flute for a long time, I have the Yamaha 200AD. I don't know what to upgrade to. The Di Zhoa sounds so nice I might consider it but I don't know. Do you have any recommendations ? Thanks :)
I upgraded to the di zhao 700 with offset g key, b foot, and c# trill key. the instrument is so beautiful and the sound is exactly how jaf described the di zhao she tested in this vid. I'm in love with mine.🎶
Have you done alto flute reviews?
Are there.....are there any other black nickle flutes you can review
I tested a DiZhao a few months ago and was literally blown away (pun intended) I am super keen to get a professional model when I can afford to,. I am playing a Yamaha 614 at the moment, but the cheaper DiZhao models sounded a million times better than my intermediate instrument - I didn't want to give it back :( Thanks for the review - you got a new fan :)
I actually almost bought that same Gemeinhardt flute, the sound is good! Surprisingly not shrill. I settled on a solid silver armstrong instead, however... :P
I'm crying I didn't bring my flute home to practice for one day and I regret it so much 😭😭😭😭😭 I'm watching so many of your videos to fill in the gap but OML I MISS MY BABY
How are di Zhaos more intermediate flutes?
Hey Joanna I love your videos! I was hoping you could review Trevor James flutes/piccolo as you have said they are a good brand. I enjoy watching your reviews and other videos a lot... Probably my favourite TH-cam channel. -thanks
How do you get a flute for trial
I just got a geminhardt black nickel flute but it isn’t the student model but the intermediate one. I absolutely love it! The only downside is that it needs to be cleaned constantly because the fingerprints show easily. But I absolutely love the sound compared to the Yamaha one I was playing from school. It is so powerful but beautiful at the same time. The lip plate also helps a bit on my geminhardt flute. Plus a black nickel flute looks so freaking cool! At least I think so. But anyways the blk series in my opinion is great so far. Then again who knows I have only had it for three days. But it definitely makes a good impression!
@cait how has your blk flute held up for the past year? Has the nickel coating worn off where your thumbs rest?
I really liked that second flute that you reviewed. It sounded really good it just seems so majestic. How many times can you use the code??? And can you also make a video on how to do different types of tonguing plz😊😊🤓🤓
You can use the code for any new flute you order for as long as FCNY and I work together! :)
gemeinhardt 2 is blk IS FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!!
I'll be starting marching band in just a few days and I was wondering if a silver flute(like the Da Zhao 200) would be able to survive through it without too much damage especially considering how I'm so clumsy
Angie Santos what flute did you end up choosing? I’m starting marching band too in a couple months and i have no idea which one to get :/ there’s so many to choose from !!! The highest i can get it for is about 1,000 dollars so idk if maybe one of these two would be good? I’m just really confused
Can you only use the code if you are one of Joanna´s students?
Does the first flute have a trill keys?
How do you get a trial on FCNY? I have clicked on both the trial button in the little drop-down menu at the top and went to the flute itself (Gemeinhardt 2BLK, badassness ftw 😊) and it only showed a buy button. Any ideas?
You have to email them directly! :)
What about the Nuvo flute for beginners?
Can you plz make a vid on how to double tongue? I'm a self thought flute btw lol
I would love to see some comparisons on flutes from manufacturers that have high end intermediate and low end handmade. I am currently trying out a bunch of flutes in a $3 - 4k price range and around here there are a few companies such has Altus and Haynes that make production flutes overseasand are finished in the States with handmade headjoints. I havent been able to try all the possible combinations, and im sure im not the only one who has been in this price point dilemna. for example i was considering either a low end Altus 807 vs an Azumi AZ3. it turned out that there are some significant, to me, design differences along with the fact that they are made differently by the same parent company.
It wouldnt have to neccessarily be the same company to compare also but generally the idea, of given a certain budget, should one opt for an all silver concert/intermediate/overseas flute, or a handmade flute from US or Japan with possibly less features and less silver.
for example, My current finalists in my quest for a new flute are a Powell Sonare 705, Split E with Signature 1 Aurumite plated headjoint, and a Miyazawa 102 with Split E. somewhat comparable cost for vastly different silver content.
thanks for the info
Can you please review piccolos? Maybe Burkart or Di Zhao especially?
I'll ask FCNY!
+JustAnotherFlutist okay thanks so much!
+JustAnotherFlutist okay thanks so much!
yeah a reveiw for piccolos would be nice because I may need a new piccolo because mine is literally melting IDK why.
I hate the piccolo. I know LUDWIG used it in his Fifth I don't know. it just gets on my nerves.
That piece by Grieg from Peer Gynt makes me violent, just like Curly Howard in the 3 Stooges when he heard 3 blind mice .
